An Important and successful factor In
the building up of the social and artistic
life In Omaha is Wlllard K. Chambers,
who Is completing his thirtieth year as
a dancing master and teacher, Twenty
five of these years have found Mr, Cham
bers teaching the nrt of gracefulness to
the eUto of this city.
Mr. Chambers has been the central fig
ure In the Omaha dance world. To him

30,000 and 0,000 students since his advent
Into Omaha In 1M7. During one season

When Mr. Chambers came to Omaha
he established himself as a teacher of
society dancing and today Ik recognized
an one of the leading dancing masters of
the world. Ills first claas work In Omaha
was mostly In a private way. In 1903 he
built 'and opened Chambers' academy at
Twenty-fifth and Farnam streets and
since that time the institution ha become
an important factor in the social Ufa of
Omaha.
Not only does the little dancing master
teach society dances, also that of stage
dancing. In his time ho has developed
many of his students Into successful the

tought nothing but the most proper and
artistic steps to three generations grand
parents, parents and grandchildren. Ho
has operated his academy In a progres

still claims to be a student. Ho asserts
that It Is Impossible to learn all there Is
to dancing.
So well Is the Omaha dancing maater
looked upon by members of his profession
that he has been made vice president of
the American Association of Masters of
Dancing, and district chairman of the
same association.
A few months ago Mr. Chambers leased
the Metropolitan club building for a period
of ten years, nnd rqmodeled it at a great
expense, the swimming poot alono costing
